Help Wanted

Hey, I'm doing some short station IDs for your favorite network and need some freelancers to help outI would especially like to hire some folks who can use Harmony/ToonBoom.If you can:AnimateInk and PaintPaint BackgroundsAre cartoony and stylish and like stuff that is exaggerated and slightly nuttyput a link to your stuff in the comments.

I especially would like to find a couple animators in the LA area who can use Toonboom because we are producing most of the stuff in Harmony. It's a very easy program to animate in.

**** It will be helpful if you put active links in the comments. - thanks!

I live in Burbank, and I'm fast, hardworking, and responsive to instructions. Inking is my specialty. I can also color and animate, though I haven't animated in quite some time. The only trouble is that I haven't used ToonBoom or Harmony, but I can use Flash and Photoshop and I pick up new programs pretty quickly. From what I've seen ToonBoom looks easier than Flash.

For more of my stuff, I've got a DA gallery here and I post comics here. Good luck finding the artists you're looking for!

Hi John, do you need somebody that can give you final scenes using the programs you just mentioned or you are searching also for separate competences?In that case I may turn out been useful for backgrounds.I live in Italy and I use to work digitally, let me know if you are interested for a collaboration.http://claudioacciari.blogspot.com

Hi John! I read this and got really excited to how off! I'll put up my blogger and Deviant art pages to show I can draw, I can ink and paint but they are too big and they are student paintings if that is a problem. I have some animation knowledge from you. I have yet to draw any cartoony backgrounds that I've painted, although I have painted realistic ones.

hey John, I'd love to help out in any way I can. I can animate but am also very good at inking and painting. Here's a link to my blog. It has some drawings, inkings, and a few links to some animation I did this year. Here's my link: http://frankcartoons.wordpress.com/Love to hear back from you if you need the help! Thanks!

Hey! My name is Scott Vanderheyden and I'm interested in helping out! I'm a roommate of Alex Vassilev and graduated in the same class as him from Woodbury. I enjoy inking and flat coloring, the latter I do for DC Comics as freelance. Here are some examples of my work. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Hi Mr. K,I'm a little nervous since this is the first time I have ever commented on your blog, but I can color and compose in Toonboom. Here is a link to my blog. My toonboom animation is at the top, and I will post a copy of my resume as well.Thanks :) Lisa

Would love to animate for you on these spots. Unfortunately do not have access to Harmony yet.

If you think I'm still worth working with, I'm Shavonne Cherry's husband, so ask Mike Fontanelli how to get in touch with her. I'm not sure about posting my contact info on your site--no offense meant, sir.

John, I saw your help wanted, and am very interested in animating for you (all the way back to your first Bjork video that my friends worked on). You can check out my stuff at: www.kristensychportfolio.blogspot.com.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to ToonBoom at the moment, but if you're still interested, I'm Shavonne Cherry's husband, so Mike Fontanelli will know how to get in touch with me through her, or you can email me at ksych@att.net.

Hello Mr. K,I would love to work on your project. Ren and Stimpy was a huge influence on me growing up and encouraged me to pursue art and animation as my life's passion. I am an avid fan of the golden age of animation, especially Popeye and other toons of that same anthropomorphic wackiness. I think I'd be an excellent addition to your team.

Hey, my name is Matthew. I'm back and forth between LA and Boise right now but will be more permanent in the LA area in May/June. I have Animate Pro and all necessary equipment to do animation work here at home for now (currently how I do my other jobs out of LA).

hi John. I work as a harmony animator in Ottawa. I purchased the program during the summer and have access to it from home so if you were planning to work from an ftp at all I can assist you with animation. here's a quick link to a run cycle i designed and animated did with harmony. http://christopherhodgey.blogspot.com/2010/07/vampire-run-cycle.html

I currently live in sunny Burbank, and I'm available for any ink n' paint work (as well as background painting in any style). I'd absolutely love to help out in any way possible.

I've also animated in Toon Boom Studio 5 in the past, and I'm completely comfortable with getting up to speed quickly with a new version of the program. I can also work in Flash and Photoshop if needed.

Hey John, I have my demo reel online and I was going to scan and post my drawings Tuesday...I just saw the post. Anyways, I do have a taste for exaggerated/raunchy/warner style drawings and cartoons. I can animate this stuff no prob. Please check out my demo reel and if you like it i'll be sure to get my drawings on there.

I reside on North Hollywood and have been in the field for a few years animating, designing characters, and inking for various studios for broadcast TV and web. I have been using TB Animate 2 for the past year so I'm able to ink, paint and animate in Toon Boom :) I'm not able to show everything due to legal obligations, but here are samples:

I just go off the phone with MarcAndre from Toonboom. He mentioned that you need some Harmony training and help. I'd be willing to help. I'm quite fluent with it. I'm not available to work, but maybe we can work something out where I could help with the learning process. I am in town and currently working at Renegade animation. I just finished at Bento Box.

I have lots of ink and paint and compositing experience, used to supervise the Paddington Bear production for ink, paint and compositing using USAnimation.

I just bought myself Animate to work at home my own animation while I'm enjoying some time off on severance pay from my corporate QA job...anyways, I love your stuff, would love to help. I also have a BFA in animation if that helps.

elke.starck@gmail.com...I'm in Montreal, but with the various tools of the wonderful interweb, we could work around that!

2 months and I am sure you have found some good artists to work with. Seeing this, I couldn't resist at least to say Hi. Here is my site:http://karmakat.caIf there's anything happening that you think I could help with, let me know! Cheers,- Aleks
